Vitiligo Psoriasis

Is any drug to treat psoriasis/vitiligo, effectively?

Psoriasis and viteligo are 2 totally different and unrelated conditions. Viteligo is an autoimmune condition which results in loss of pigment, it has no useful treatment and is managed generally by cosmetic camouflage.

Psoriasis is an inherited defect in the skin metabolism. Although it does respond to steroids topically, these are avoided where possible, in all but a few specific areas as the benefit of the steroids is outweighed by the problems and risks. The 2 main problems are skin thinning, which occurs with chronic use, and rebound, a tendency for the psoriasis to flare up even more severely when the steroid creams are discontinued. they are however used on severe scalp psoriasis, where the skin is very thick and as very mild steroid, no more than 1% Hydrocortisone, on the face, where psoriasis is rare,and if it dos occur usually mild anyway.

More general treatment conssts of either Dovonex or sometimes the more old fashioned more powerful, but more problematical use of tar or dithranol. Psoriasis also improves in UV light and this is sometimes used in resistant cases. Cytotoxic drugs are used in severe psoriasis, but usually ony in those with joint involvement, psoriatic athritis.
